HARD! After effects...

Re: Legos exploding and missils.

That was kind of gross...
I dunno, the contrast between the lego dudes and the realisticness of the effect didn't strike me...
Also, I think the sniper should move his weapon a lot more, because here he is firing a missile and it looks like he just shot a dinky pistol. There should be a lot more rebound. But that was still pretty cool mini/smile

I know it's too shocking, but that is what I'm trying! mini/wink

Re: Legos exploding and missils.

It's not that it was shocking, it's that the animation didn't exactly fit the effects.

Lego blood doesn't exist so...

Re: Legos exploding and missils.

I think the effects were a little too realistic. I would go for a more cartoony approach towards the explosion, and the mix between the red clay on the set, and the Freddie Wong-type blood/gore was not a good fit. Good AE work though!

Again, you're missing the point I'm trying to make. We [topit and I] meant the movement of the minifigures, particularly the one shooting the rocket, and how it didn't match up to the kind of firepower he was using.

Thanks for the advice! I was learning AE at the same time so I... went crazy with the special effects mini/tongue
